Pd-vanilla 0.43 should use the built-in Tcl/Tk, which is 8.4 on 10.5 and 8.5 on 10.6 and newer.  If there is another version of Tcl/Tk installed into /Library/Frameworks, Pd-vanilla will use that one.

Pd-extended 0.43 includes its own custom version of Tcl/Tk 8.5 that takes precedence of anything that is installed on the user's machine.
